Located to S of centre within an enclosure (SL009-062001-). A recumbent roughly rectangular slab quarried of limestone (1.05m NW-SE; 0.55m NE-SW; T c.0.3m) with an incised, roman-type cross (L 0.37m; Wth 0.27m; Wth of arm 0.05m; D of incision 0.01m) orientated parallel to the length of the slab at the SE end. The terminals of the arms of the cross are slightly expanded. A upright stone (SL009-062003-), with visible markings, stands immediately to the enclosure.
